Canada Canadians are extremely polite when it comes to mild physical faux pas such as stepping on feet or bumping into others. Often both parties will briefly apologize, including the person who was bumped. Use of the word “sorry” in this context is equivalent to “excuse me”; it should not be considered a submissive gesture. Not waiting at the end of a queue for your turn “cutting in line” is considered extremely rude. This applies in all areas of public interaction.

1) But, no, in Canada men and women are considered to be equal. 2) Why is paying on the first date such a taboo in Canada? to general gender rules that get all mixed up in Canada from what I have experienced. No wonder french women go to Cuba / Dominican Republic and bring themselves.

For me, for us as a family, Canada Day is typically spent in the Canadian capital, Ottawa, strolling our pride. The mood is light. Everywhere we see Canadian flags raised above the crowd dressed in red and white. We line up to wave back at the Governor General and dignitaries, riding along in the traditional carriage, preceded by our legendary Royal Canadian Mounted Policemen and women riding. We raise our heads to be exhilarated by the acrobatics of the Snow Birds.

A duo plays. We sing and I dance, as you can see below. Life is good in my Canada, our Canada.
